Coddled children may grow up to be some of the biggest losers in life. Just look around to see it. Whiny kids become whiny adults - the seemingly unlucky.
Thankfully my parents sent me to a military prep school as a young teen for a number of years. Fierce self-reliance, and an independent spirit were just two of the benefits gained which carry you through life. Doing your job well and self-discipline becomes easy as an adult, allowing one to flourish. Sometimes you just get lucky growing up.
